Hi Jon!  Nice work on Arasan.  I downloaded version 5.2 a while back, and it's
quite strong.

I think it would be practically impossible to enforce a uniform platform
restriction.  It's also a bit unfair to the programmers who have invested time
implementing a parallel search.

Perhaps you could find somebody else to operate Arasan?  I'm guessing there are
dozens of CCC readers with fast machines who would jump at the chance.
